<p><a class="link" href="GstObject.html" title="GstObject"><span class="type">GstObject</span></a> provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the
GStreamer library.  It is currently a thin wrapper on top of
<a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GInitiallyUnowned"><span class="type">GInitiallyUnowned</span></a>. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own.</p>
<p><a class="link" href="GstObject.html" title="GstObject"><span class="type">GstObject</span></a> gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking.
Most of the functions are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be
found under the same name in the base class of <a class="link" href="GstObject.html" title="GstObject"><span class="type">GstObject</span></a> which is <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a>
(e.g. <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-ref"><code class="function">g_object_ref()</code></a> becomes <a class="link" href="GstObject.html#gst-object-ref" title="gst_object_ref ()"><code class="function">gst_object_ref()</code></a>).</p>

, and possibly remove the floating
reference, if <em class="parameter"><code>object</code></em>

<p>In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership"

the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object
is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the
reference count by one.</p>
